Portable digital sign system

Abstract

A portable sign includes a frame, a digital display supported by the frame, a power supply to provide electricity to the digital display, and a controller to initiate a presentation of digital content on the display. The display that is interactive, lightweight and durable. The portable sign may display and collect data The portable sign may be one of a number of portable signs networked to a host device.
